Step 1 - Open the employee's salary tab
Go to People → Employees and open the employee profile. Open the Salary tab.
If the employee has no salary yet, start Add salary. To change an existing structure with a new effective date, use Revise salary (see how to add or revise salary).
Note: Template apply is available for Employee employment type in the salary wizard (not contractor flows that hide the picker).
Step 2 - Pick a salary template
On the first wizard step, find Start from a template (Salary template dropdown). Only Active templates in the employee's pay currency are listed.
Select a template (and its version chip, e.g. v2).
Optional: use + Create new template to open Salary Components → Salary templates and create a template if none exist for that currency.
If you change templates after editing fields, Asanify may ask you to confirm replacing amounts with the newly selected template.
Step 3 - Complete CTC, breakup, and dates
After the template fills the form, review CTC, Effective from, and Payout from (for revisions). Adjust breakup lines as needed. An alert shows which template version was applied; all fields remain editable.
Continue through Breakup and fix validation issues (CTC mismatch, negative allowance, and so on) the same way as a manual salary.
Step 4 - Confirm the employee salary
On Review salary, confirm the monthly and annual summary and which Template used is recorded. Click Confirm salary to save the employee salary.
The employee keeps this template version on their record; later template edits do not retroactively change this salary.
Additional Information
When no template appears
No templates in the employee's currency: create one under Salary Components → Salary templates, or enter the salary manually.
Retired or wrong-currency templates are excluded by design.
Bulk salary upload
Template apply is for the single-employee wizard. For many employees, use People → Import data → Salary breakup as described in payroll setup.
Permissions
You need admin access on the employee's salary tab (ADMIN and not HR-only for the full add/revise wizard).
